IR, not RF -- BEWARE

Be aware that this is an IR remote, not RF. You must point it directly at the head unit for it to work. There are other remotes (not for Alpine) that use RF, so you can have the remote mounted somewhere in your cockpit and just press the buttons. With this IR remote, you must point it directly at the head unit. Pretty useless, unless you have an RV with the head unit mounted out of reach and you actually couldn't reach it easily.

Great little Alpine Remote

I purchased the remote for my fiancée new Alpine CDE-HD149BT CD Receiver with Bluetooth and HD Radio Built-in. Also that deck is awesome I would definitely would recommend the deck and the remote. Although I do think alpine should give you a remote when you buy a new deck you shouldn't have to purchase one separately but it's only $20.00 at crutchfield and they shipped it for free. I couldn't believe how fast I got it though I ordered the remote late Saturday afternoon on my phone and it was delivered Monday afternoon I couldn't be happier. All in all great overall experience no problems and it's alpine you can't go wrong with there stuff it's the best.

Pros:Great price at crutchfield and supper fast shipping also there customer service was awesome and there located in The good ole USA and that's well worth giving crutchfield your business.

Cons:Alpine should give you a new remote with a new CD player purchase.

Nice unit

This is a handy little remote. It should come standard with Alpine's radios, especially the higher end units. Kenwood, JVC, Pioneer and most others include one and that almost steered me to a Kenwood. I bought one of these remotes to swap between my CDE-HD149BT in my truck and the CDE-W235BT in a Van. Comes with a mounting bracket but I didn't use it. Good price but again, should come with the radios! Great service by Crutchfield. Shipped super fast!!

Pros:Nice, handy and easy to use. No programming required so I could use it with two different Alpine units without any problems.

Cons:None with the unit but it should come standard when you buy a new Alpine car stereo.

Good Remote

I was hesitant to pay extra for the remote when I bought the Alpine head unit based on my experience with the remote from the Kenwood deck I was replacing. The Kenwood remote was hit or miss, mostly miss, with performing the desired action. In addition the ridge around the buttons would irritate your thumb while you would be trying to press the button various ways to get it to work. The Alpine however is very responsive. I have not had it ignore any commands yet. There is also no finger discomfort when pressing the buttons. A much better layout than the Kenwood.

Alpine RUE-4202

I was going to give in to buying the $50 remote but I have to realize all I wanted from the remote was the basic functionalities. It's light and comes with a clip to hold the remote. The clip has double sided sticky foam to place it in the car and also has 4 holes in the corners if you want to screw it down to the car. Unfortunately it doesn't come with the small screws to do so. I didn't even need to sync or anything. Worked as soon as the batteries went in. Great remote.

REPLACEMENT REMOTE

BOUGHT FOR AN OLDER ALPINE HEAD UNIT--CDA-9833-- THAT CAME FROM CRUTCHFIELD MANY YEARS AGO----AFTER TALKING TO SALES REP I WANTED TO TRY IT EVEN THOUGH MY HEAD UNIT WASN'T ON THE LIST THAT THE REMOTE WORKS----IT WORKS GREAT---ALL BUTTONS FUNCTION THE WAY THEY SHOULD---VERY EASY TO USE

Pros:VERY EASY TO USE----STRONG SIGNAL---CAN CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE IN CAR INCLUDING BACK SEAT--- POPULAR BUTTONS ARE GROUPED TOGETHER

Another great Alpine product

This remote works great. It has all the buttons I need to control my Alpine CDA-143BT. It also works with two other older Alpine headunits that I have installed in my other vehicles. One is over six years old. Great product, very useful.

Pros:Not over crowded with buttons. Just the right size for car use. Range is great.

Satisfied customer

The Product does everything I wanted it to do. It also did something I didn't expect it to do which was stream music from an iPhone via Bluetooth. I just with they would come up with better displays They haven't advanced much in the past 15 years.

car clicker (remote)

i never would of thought about having a remote for my van, but as my van is nearly now of 'classic' vintage, it has no steering wheel stereo controls. until now. a little velcro applied and alas, stereo controls at my finger tips. it works great! and the price was right. the free shipping is a real boon as well. we can also lay in the bed in back and control all of the functions. very handy at the drive-in theater last night. very happy campers we are.

Remote Control

Written By Rick A., New Berlin, NY on Thursday, May 23, 2013

I received this remote automatically with my Alpine CDA-9887 head unit that I purchased from Crutchfield several years ago. It has always worked for what it is. You can't control all features with a head unit, but you can do the basics. It's not "slim" but it never slides off of the seat in front of my armrest (face down) and the batteries seem to last a long time in it. I agree that a nice HU should come standard with a remote. I just bought a CDE-HD149BT HU and once again, it will do the basics since Alpine's "top of the line" single DIN does not come with any remote. In all fairness, it's not Crutchfield's fault. Alpine dropped the ball. I would recommend this remote to complete the simple tasks such as power on/off, mute, pause, skip.

Pros:Good battery life, large enough that you don't lose it, will still control some of the latest HUs.

Remote

This remote did ok but seems to hold memory on the side arrow which should be next channel up or down. After the radio is off over night it seems to reset and be ok until you use it a few times and it starts going random.

Good remote

Remote is very nice, all the buttons work reall good, only thing I didn't like is you get a case to put your remote in and it can stick to anywhere and mine fell off and now won't stick. But this remote can do everything your hu can do.

Alpine RUE-4202

Since I don't have any controls on my F150 steering wheel, this is the next best thing. It is easy to use and does all I need it to do. My one complaint is that there is no illumination on the remote and at night it is hard to use.

Alpine Remote

Remote is great, the only bad thing is that you have to have it pointed at the head unit. This remote works great switching the tracks and pausing the music. It works with my ida-x200 head unit. it does basic functions. So overall does a good job.

Alpine RUE-4202 Remote Control Unit

This is a must have remote control unit for any of the 2005 and up Alpine stereo head
units. It sure comes in handy to adjust the volume and do the other adjustments while
your car is parked with the doors open & windows rolled down at parties at the park and
such with all of your friends!....great thing to have!

Does what it's supposed to do.

I need a simple remote for volume control, switching sources and bands. This does exactly what I need it to do. I haven't found a place to stick the cradle in the cab of my pickup truck so it just sits on the seat beside me.

I figure if I have to reach all the way to the radio (or further) to reach the remote I may as well just twist the knobs on the radio.

You may have a better surface to stick the remote - all my surfaces are curved.

Alpine RUE-4202

DO NOT order this remote if you are using the iDA-x200 (I assume that this
applies to all similar decks, such as the iDA-x300, 001, and 100). I ordered
this from Crutchfield, and it arrived promptly and just as they said it would.
This is not Crutchfield's fault at all. I checked on Alpine's website, and this
remote was listed as an accessory for the iDA-x200. When I received this
product, I noticed that it would do everything but the most important
thing... control the iPod browsing feature of my deck. Due to the fact that
the iDA-x200 is an "iPod only" receiver, this remote is basically useless to
me.

Alpine RUE-4202

I bought this in February for my Alpine CDA 9856 i have/had in my truck and it works great.I just updated my deck to the Alpine CDA 9883 and plan on putting the CDA 9856 in my boat and came back to Crutchfield to get a second remote.

AN ALPINE REMOTE IS A MUST HAVE!

I WOULD BE LOST WITHOUT MY ALPINE REMOTE, MY MOST CONVIENT CRUTCHFIELD BY TO DATE. WITH YOUR REMOTE YOU CAN ACCESS ANY CD,TUNER,AND EQ FUNCTIONS. I BOUGHT 2 REMOTES JUST IN CASE AND BELIEVE ME AFTER ENJOYING YOUR ALPINE QUALITY CD RECIEVER WITH YOUR NEW REMOTE YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO JAM WITH OUT IT!
